Iowa City receives budget award

City of Iowa City Finance Director Dennis Bockenstedt has been notified that for the second consecutive year, the City's Finance Department has been awarded the national Distinguished Budget Presentation Award by the Government Finance Officers Association.

The award, which is the highest form of recognition in governmental budgeting, recognizes the City's 2013-2014 budget, which took effect July 1, 2013. The City also won the award in 2012, after a nearly 20-year hiatus in which a budget document was not submitted for consideration.

To receive the award, the City had to satisfy nationally recognized guidelines for effective budget presentation which assessed the budget's effectiveness in four categories: as a policy document, financial plan, operations guide and communications device.
